< Genesis 31 >

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying: 'Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.'
Jakobi ayokaki bana mibali ya Labani koloba: « Jakobi azwi biloko nyonso ya tata na biso mpe ezali na nzela ya biloko yango nde akomi na bozwi oyo nyonso. »
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
Jakobi amonaki lisusu ete ezaleli ya Labani epai na ye etikalaki lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso.
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob: 'Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.'
Yawe ayebisaki Jakobi: « Zonga na mboka ya batata na yo, epai ya bandeko na yo, mpe nakozala na yo elongo. »
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
Boye Jakobi abengisaki Rasheli mpe Lea na bilanga epai wapi azalaki elongo na bibwele.
5 and said unto them: 'I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.
Alobaki na bango: — Namoni ete ezaleli ya tata na bino epai na ngai etikali lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso; kasi Nzambe ya tata na ngai azalaki elongo na ngai.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Boyebi bino moko ete nasalelaki tata na bino na makasi na ngai nyonso.
7 And your father hath mocked me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Kasi ye asakanaki na ngai na kobongola lifuti na ngai mbala zomi. Atako bongo, Nzambe apesaki ye nzela te ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 If he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said thus: The streaked shall be thy wages; then bore all the flock streaked.
Tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya nzela-nzela ekozala lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya nzela-nzela. Mpe tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya madodo-madodo nde lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya madodo-madodo.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Ezalaki bongo nde Nzambe azalaki kobotola bibwele ya tata na bino mpe kopesa ngai yango.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
Bongo, na tango oyo bibwele esengelaki kosangisa nzoto, namonaki na ndoto ete bantaba ya mibali, oyo ezalaki kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezalaki ya madodo-madodo, ya banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe.
11 And the angel of God said unto me in the dream: Jacob; and I said: Here am I.
Anjelu na Nzambe alobaki na ngai kati na ndoto: « Jakobi! » Mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo, nazali awa. »
12 And he said: Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
Alobaki na ngai: « Tombola miso mpe tala: bantaba nyonso ya mibali, oyo ezali kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezali na madodo-madodo, na banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe na banzela-nzela ya pembe; pamba te namoni makambo nyonso oyo Labani asali yo.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow a vow unto Me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.'
Nazali Nzambe ya Beteli epai wapi osopaki mafuta na likolo ya libanga oyo otelemisaki lokola elembo mpe olapaki ndayi liboso na Ngai. Sik’oyo, telema, wuta na mokili oyo, mpe zonga na mokili na yo epai wapi obotama. »
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Rasheli mpe Lea bazongisaki: — Boni, tozali lisusu na eloko to na libula kati na ndako ya tata na biso?
15 Are we not accounted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our price.
Azalaki komona biso lokola bapaya, pamba te atekaki biso mpe aliaki mbongo na mito na biso.
16 For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.'
Yango wana, bozwi nyonso oyo Nzambe abotolaki tata na biso ekomi ya biso na bana na biso. Sik’oyo, sala makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe ayebisaki yo.
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
Boye Jakobi amatisaki bana na ye mpe basi na ye likolo ya bashamo.
18 and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
Amemaki bibwele na ye nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo azwaki, bibwele oyo azwaki tango avandaki na Padani-Arami, mpo na kozonga epai ya Izaki, tata na ye, na mokili ya Kanana.
19 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
Nzokande tango Labani akendeki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye, Rasheli ayibaki banzambe ya bikeko ya tata na ye.
20 And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.
Boye Jakobi akosaki Labani, moto ya Arami, pamba te atikalaki koyebisa ye te ete akokende.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
Akimaki elongo na nyonso oyo ezalaki ya ye, akatisaki ebale mpe akendeki na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
Sima na mikolo misato, bayebisaki Labani ete Jakobi asili kokima.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
Boye Labani azwaki elongo na ye bandeko na ye ya mibali, alandaki Jakobi mikolo sambo mpe akangaki ye na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
24 And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night, and said unto him: 'Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.'
Na butu, Nzambe ayaki epai ya Labani, moto ya Arami, kati na ndoto; alobaki na ye: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
25 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
Labani akangaki Jakobi, sima na Jakobi kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo kati na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi. Boye Labani elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali bavandaki mpe wana.
26 And Laban said to Jacob: 'What hast thou done, that thou hast outwitted me, and carried away my daughters as though captives of the sword?
Labani alobaki na Jakobi: — Makambo nini osali ngai? Okosi ngai mpe omemi bana na ngai ya basi lokola bakangami ya bitumba!
27 Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;
Mpo na nini okimi na nkuku mpe okosi ngai? Mpo na nini oyebisaki ngai te? Nalingaki kutu kotika yo kokende na esengo elongo na banzembo, na makelele ya bambunda mpe ya lindanda.
28 and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.
Otikeli ngai ata tango te ya kopesa beze na bakoko na ngai mpe na bana na ngai ya basi! Osali penza lokola moto ya liboma!
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Tala, nazali na makoki ya kosala yo mabe, kasi na butu oyo eleki, Nzambe ya tata na yo alobaki na ngai: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
30 And now that thou art surely gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'
Sik’oyo, lokola okeyi mpo ete ozalaki na posa ya ndako ya tata na yo, mpo na nini oyibi banzambe na ngai?
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'Because I was afraid; for I said: Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.
Jakobi azongiselaki Labani: — Nabangaki, pamba te nakanisaki ete okobotola ngai bana na yo ya basi na makasi.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' — For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. —
Kasi tika ete moto oyo okokuta awa na banzambe na yo akufa. Na miso ya bandeko na biso ya mibali, luka epai na ngai nyonso oyo ezali ya yo mpe zwa yango. Nzokande, Jakobi ayebaki te ete ezalaki Rasheli nde moto ayibaki banzambe yango.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Labani akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Jakobi, na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, mpe na ndako ya kapo ya basi bawumbu mibale; kasi amonaki eloko te. Sima na ye kobima na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, akotaki na oyo ya Rasheli.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.
Nzokande Rasheli azwaki banzambe ya Labani, abombaki yango likolo ya shamo mpe avandaki na likolo na yango. Labani alukaki kati na ndako mobimba ya kapo, kasi amonaki eloko moko te.
35 And she said to her father: 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me.' And he searched, but found not the teraphim.
Rasheli alobaki na tata na ye: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te soki nakoki kotelema te na miso na yo, pamba te nazali na mikolo ya sanza oyo ekomelaka basi nyonso. Labani alukaki, kasi amonaki banzambe yango te.
36 And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?
Bongo Jakobi asilikaki mpe aswanisaki Labani. Alobaki na ye: — Mbeba nini nasalaki? Lisumu nini nasalaki mpo ete olanda ngai na kanda boye?
37 Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.
Tango oluki kati na biloko na ngai nyonso, eloko nini ya ndako na yo omoni? Tia yango awa liboso ya bandeko na yo ya mibali mpe ya ngai mpo bakatela biso mibale likambo.
38 These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.
Nasalaki epai na yo mibu tuku mibale; bameme na yo mpe bantaba na yo elongwaki zemi te, mpe natikalaki te kolia bameme ya mibali kati na bibwele na yo.
39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
Namemelaki yo nyama moko te oyo banyama ya zamba ebomaki. Ngai moko nazalaki kofuta yango. Ozalaki kofutisa ngai oyo bazalaki koyiba ngai na moyi to na butu.
40 Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
Moyi ezalaki kobeta ngai na mokolo, malili ezalaki kokanga ngai na butu, mpe pongi ezalaki kokima ngai na miso.
41 These twenty years have I been in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Navandi na ndako na yo mibu tuku mibale: nasalelaki yo mibu zomi na minei mpo na bana na yo mibale ya basi, mpe mibu motoba mpo na bibwele na yo; mbala zomi obongolaki lifuti na ngai.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'
Soki Nzambe ya tata na ngai, Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe oyo Izaki abangaka, azalaki elongo na ngai te, ya solo, olingaki kozongisa ngai lelo maboko pamba. Kasi Nzambe amonaki minyoko na ngai mpe pasi ya mosala ya maboko na ngai, yango wana apamelaki yo na butu oyo eleki.
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?
Labani azongiselaki Jakobi: — Basi oyo bazali bana na ngai ya basi, bana oyo bazali bana na ngai, bibwele oyo ezali ya ngai mpe nyonso oyo ozali komona ezali ya ngai. Bongo lelo, eloko nini nakoki kosala mpo na bana na ngai ya basi mpe mpo na bana oyo bango baboti?
44 And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'
Sik’oyo Jakobi, tosala boyokani kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe tika ete yango ezala litatoli kati na biso.
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Boye Jakobi azwaki libanga mpe atelemisaki yango lokola elembo.
46 And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.
Jakobi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Bolokota mabanga! » Balokotaki mabanga, batiaki yango liboke, mpe bango nyonso baliaki wana na likolo ya liboke ya mabanga.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.
Labani abengaki esika yango Yegari-Saduta mpe Jakobi abengaki yango Galedi.
48 And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
Labani alobaki: — Lelo, liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali litatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. Yango wana babengaki yango Galedi.
49 and Mizpah, for he said: 'The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
Babengaki yango lisusu Mitsipa; pamba te Labani alobaki lisusu: « Tika ete Yawe akengelaka kati na yo mpe ngai tango tokomonana lisusu te.
50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.'
Soki onyokoli bana na ngai ya basi mpe soki ozwi basi mosusu likolo na bana na ngai ya basi, atako moto moko te akozala kati na biso, kasi yeba ete Nzambe nde azali motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. »
51 And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.
Labani alobaki lisusu na Jakobi: — Tala liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo oyo natelemisi kati na ngai mpe yo.
52 This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
Liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali motatoli, mpe libanga oyo ya elembo ezali motatoli. Nasengeli te kokatisa liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga oyo ya elembo mpo ete naya kosala yo mabe na ngambo na yo; mpe yo osengeli te kokatisa liboke ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo mpo na koya kosala ngai mabe na ngambo na ngai.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Tika ete Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Naori, Nzambe ya tata na bango, azala Mosambisi kati na biso! Bongo Jakobi alapaki ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe oyo tata na ye, Izaki, azalaki kobanga.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.
Jakobi abonzaki mbeka likolo ya ngomba mpe abengisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mpo na kolia bilei. Tango basilisaki kolia, balekisaki butu na esika wana, likolo ya ngomba.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Labani apesaki bakoko na ye mpe bana na ye ya basi beze; apambolaki bango mpe azongaki na ndako na ye.
